Related measures S.B. 513 (2022 Regular Session). The same measure in both chambers of the 2022 Regular Session. The two carry the same title and the same official description, were signed on the same day, and became consecutive chapters of the 2022 Acts of Assembly: H.B. 791 is Chapter 671 and S.B. 513 is Chapter 672. Neither row is merged: each measure keeps its own record, its own history and its own page.
